and you shiver so

in discomfort

as if jahannam is no less colder

 

don't leave me behind

from this wonderful brotherhood.

but would i in my case

leave them behind

to climb higher mountains ?

or would i

be too shy to go

and thus rat at the foot

into the dust I was created of ?

even these words

are not worthy for me.
